Anecdotes

Shot.14 - Acceptance

Expectation and acceptance may sound weirdly similar, but there is a huge huge difference between both them.

What I believe in is that if you don't expect much from anyone you have a great possibility to accept things or people much earlier than you will do holding on to your expectations.

Such a thing happens to me. I have grown up with the expectation that when I meet the girl with whom I want to spend the rest of my life, she will only love me more than anyone in the world. She will love me no matter what the situation puts us into and I will love her back as same as is expected.

But then I met her. Dr.Ridhima Gupta. She was the father's princess that is every fairly-tail described. It is always her father who stays in her thoughts when she does something, seems like it's her only aim to see her father happy. She loved everyone around her and they loved her back. This was what made me fall for her, her loving, caring simple sweet nature.

But gradually I started to complain about her only thinking about her father, not about me. This brought a rift between us, which I chose to oversee at that time.

Today somehow I was pondering my thoughts when I noticed I was just expecting things on my way to run. I am not accepting them or maybe I am demanding her to change for me but not accepting her as she was.

So today I am going to tell her, 'I have accepted her the way she is, and not only her I will accept her family as mine as well'.

This may not seem a big difference to many of you but when I told her what I thought about. The happiness and excitement that flowed through her eyes told me it was a bring step in our relationship.

It was like I had given the world to her without her even asking for it. Maybe her excitement is valid.

The two people, she loves the most are Dr.Armaan Malik, and her father Dr.Shashank Gupta, I am finding peace with her father, for her, it's like uniting her two different worlds into one. Where in future she won't have to choose between two.

And today after getting married we both live together with Papa (Dr. Shanshank) who by time and grace turned out to be just like me. Crazy for football, food made my Ridhima and not to forget our passion for being the best neurologist. Which sometimes gives Ridhima a tough time dealing with both of us when we sit together on holidays. Acceptance may seem small but it makes the biggest of differences.

PS - this one when on a moral basis. You guys Bare with it I suppose. But I don't know what makes me put this. Eventually, I put it without much thought on why this.
